PRAY for Haitian earthquake victims. If you want to make a gift for them through the church, mark your check "H" and the full amount will be forwarded.

Haiti Update:
Within a month after the devastating January 12 earthquake in Haiti, American Baptists overwhelmingly responded with more than $1 million for relief efforts in that Caribbean nation. These funds represent gifts by local congregations and individuals during the initial weeks after the earthquake as well as direct donations to International Ministries (IM) provided through mid-February.

Additional contributions have been sent from some of IM’s Christian partners. These include $5,200 from El Salvador’s Baptist Educational and Missionary Institution (IMEBES) and First Baptist Church in San Salvador; $1,000 from the Baptist Seminary of Mexico; $8,744 from the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (northeast India); and $4,800 from the Kwun Tong Swatow Baptist Church of Hong Kong.

American Baptist International Ministries, organized in 1814, is the oldest Baptist mission agency formed in North America. We serve more than 2,500 short-term and long-term missionaries annually, bringing U.S. and Puerto Rico churches together with partners in 76 countries in cutting-edge ministries that tell the good news of Jesus Christ while meeting human needs.

ATTENTION MEN! Come join us for a time of fellowship and prayer at Men’s Prayer Breakfast at McDonald’s (6th Avenue) every Friday morning at 6:45 a.m.

PLEASE SAVE YOUR GROCERY RECEIPTS from ECONO FOODS, KEN’S SUPERFAIR FOODS and KESSLER’S. (This includes gas receipts from Ken’s and Pharmacy receipts from Econo Foods & Kesslers.) Aberdeen Christian School will receive a percentage of the total. Receipt must be dated September 1 or after. Please deposit them in the specially marked box on the foyer table.

CHILDREN’S BULLETINS are available. See an usher for one.
